Favourite Things Friday: Giveaways

They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing. –William Shakespeare

I super l♥ve giveaways! The blogging community is so generous! {Not to mention clever at turning their 'trash' into someone else's 'treasure.'} I've had quite a bit of luck in the winning-other-people's-giveaways department. And I've done a couple of fun giveaways myself.

Right now, the Fall into Fall giveaway extravaganza is going on. Click on the cute little scarecrow to be taken to a directory of 151 bloggers {including eight business blogs} who are currently hosting giveaways!


I debated back and forth whether or not I'd like to participate. I love giveaways, but I only had a semi-OK idea of what to do for my own give away. Nothing really brilliant was coming to mind. Entries for participation were due on Wednesday. I waited until the very last minute, but decided that even if my prize wasn't out-of-this world, it would still be fun to participate. So, I sent my little e-mail off. Unfortunatley, I found out yesterday that the cyber gnomes had diverted it and I'm not officially participating . Too bad, because this morning I had a brilliant idea to improve my first giveaway and a great idea for a second giveaway. So I've decided go rogue and do a my own giveaway thing. I've put each giveaway in a separate post {hey, it's my giveaway and I'll be anal organized if I want to } and am making this post the directory, because giveaways are one of my favourite things .
